This is the harbor where I have my fishing boat. The seawall is very effective to keep out bad weather and big waves.
Really enjoyed the evening light and the reflection of the mountains.

A snow storm made it impossible to go outside so I settled for taking pictures indoor. Notice how the wind are sweeping the trees.
But even when there is a blizzard you can see the blue sky in the background signaling better weather.
This was was photographed on second March 2007, but it is snowing outside today too.

This sight was very fascinating! It looked like a river coming down from the enormous cloud formations. Probably created by down-streams of air?
The nature sure is beautiful!

I’m a big fan of the old boatsheds! They have such great texture and colors and tell stories about old times.
Notice the planks in the foreground that are used to get fishing boats out on the ocean without much hassle.

In the back you can see some beautiful mountains called Stakken and Snøtinden.

Here is a picture of phenomenon that I have not seen often. The moon was a thin crescent and Earth reflected light on the moon. It’s called planetshine and Earthshine when the earth lights the moon.
You can also see Venus below the Moon.
